A Nagging Question...


There's a question that's been nagging at me:  "What was Weston Sudduth trying to hide?"  I listened to Lindsey's "interviews" with him again, and it's evident he was hiding something.  Most people who've listened to the interviews probably came to this conclusion.  Weston comes across as sketchy.  

In Lindsey's last attempt to get an admission, Weston's position was "I don't know who they saw but it wasn't me."   He flat out rejects the testimonies of those who claimed to have seen him with Bowen the day after the murders, giving  what I've referred to in another post as his "Rashomon explanation."  You know... five people can witness the same event and give five different accounts about what happened, etc.  Except, in his case, they all agreed on one significant point--Weston and Bo were together on August 16. 🙄

Let's go back to the first "interview" with Sudduth.  Imagine him responding this way after being asked about what Robert Herbert and Toma Cauffield witnessed in their apartment:  "Yeah, I remember that.  people were saying that Bo had done it, and it freaked me out so I confronted him because I didn't know if the rumors were true.  I still don't know."  Of course this isn't how he answered, but it's very possible that he could have, if he hadn't feared being connected to someone who (as far he knows) may have murdered Mary and Greg.

So, an easy answer to the nagging question might be that, even in 2020, Weston still didn't know whether Bowen committed the murders or not, and he wanted to distance himself from Bo, even if it meant lying when confronted with the truth. 

Among the lingering questions, admittedly this one nags at me far less than the one associated with Dave Kohn's testimony...
